Simply remove the no longer used entry from the boot.ini file

Just to add the the other post.
Because the boot.ini file is a hidden system file and is set as a read only file
you can do it two quick ways.
Right click on the MyComputer icon and select Prop./Advance folder/Start Up and
Recovery button/at the top you will see default OS just select the one you want to
used or hit the EDIT button it will popup the boot.ini file and you can remove the
line calling the 2nd win2k in to play.
win2k will remove the read only tag and then put it back on after you edit the file.
Have a good weekend Dave

Download the Driverguide tool kit,it's free and if it can find a better driver it
will tell you so.
Plus it will backup the drivers for the machine.
Plus it's free for 30days, it's a great tool, you can also backup the drivers to
a cdrw disk to be on the safeside just in case you have a crash.
